Not that he'll ever be much, but he was handled terribly from day one. He was never going to succeed as a pure EDGE.

I''m curious to see if he goes somewhere as an Odd ILB or if someone still thinks he can fit as a Predator.

The ILB experience ended after that missed assignment on Frank Gore in the SF game his rookie year.

Sadly, that was a pattern no matter where they put him. He didn't have the burst to be an EDGE or the hands and technique to put his hand on the ground. How many times did he try to fill the C gap on a run fit and get ridden completely out of the play because he couldn't engage in close with his hands? That was never going to work.

For the maximum craziness scenario, Torrey Smith is only guaranteed 500k. That's probably enough space.

I would love to see him in Oakland.

Who cares, sign the man and cut Ryan Mathews, Jason Kelce and Mychal Kendricks.

Alshon on one side, Maclin and Smith platoon the other with Matthews in the slot.

JMac has his wedding, Big Red attends, he skips the honeymoon to go to voluntary OTAs, and he's a June 1 cut. They didn't give the man a heads up?

I still don't really get this one. Given the QB situation I don't really think you can afford to get rid of a guy like Maclin there.

I'd imagine he's scooped up by someone else though.

We have something like 5 million in cap, and cutting Mathews gives us 4 more.

We actually have the cash to pay him...but why should we?

Unless we trade Jordan Matthews, what's even the point? Torrey Smith is more valuable to us than Maclin probably since he has burner potential, but Maclin doesn't. Alshon is a given. Matthews is a good slot guy, but needs a big contract soon and he isn't worth it. Maybe dump him if you can this offseason.

Maclin to the Ravens. Seems like it was down to the Eagles and Ravens and he chose the Ravens.

Gotta protect the franchise QB. Hoping for a big year. Already planning all the Sundays.

Just saw him a couple days ago. He absolutely can't wait for training camp and the upcoming season. Going to the KC game and hoping to get to one in Philly and see a Flyers game while I'm there.

Jealous!

He should be really excited. I'm glad he isn't showing nerves. Now, he literally has every need taken care of for him to succeed. No excuses.

I'm hoping (and thinking) he KILLS it. That receiving corps + Blount + line = toys to play withhhhh.
